Resistin, an adipokine, is expressed in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or osteoarthritis (OA) patients and in synovial joints after injury [1,2,3,4], and the plasma resistin level is significantly correlated with erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C reactive protein (CRP) [3]. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is rheumatoid arthritis.
